Chapter 10 Do You Remember Me?

Ding Chen Tai, Mu Bai's best friend since elementary school, used to get along well with Wen Laibao. He had once admired her too, but they went to different middle schools, and eventually, they grew apart and lost contact.

"I remember now, you even sent me chocolates."

Snap!

Her remark instantly shattered the perfect smile on Ding Chen Tai's face.

Lai Bao, can we not bring up such embarrassing stories?

"Who would have thought Tai had a taste for that?"

Mu Bai's thin, rosy lips curved into a slight arc, his gem-like dark eyes so bright, like stars in the sky, twinkling with mesmerizing light. At this moment, those eyes were filled with mild mockery, exuding a wicked aura.

This man, really!

Beautiful like deadly poison yet addictively seductive.

Upon hearing this, Lai Bao's face immediately fell. What did he mean by that?

Though they hadn't seen each other for many years, they had a deep bond, and it wasn't an exaggeration to call them childhood sweethearts. Did he have to be so sarcastically mean?

Had he learned nothing but superficial judgments during his years abroad after seeing so much of the world?

Several women nearby, having heard Mu Bai's words, covered their mouths and laughed.

Ding Chen Tai's mouth twitched, "Mr. Mu, please stop making fun of me."

Mu Bai scoffed, and his gaze finally landed on Wen Laibao. He then raised his hand, his pale and slender finger beckoning her, his gesture resembling that used on a pet dog.

Wen Laibao suppressed the anger and bitterness in her heart and walked towards Mu Bai step by step.

Now that she was here, she wouldn't back down easily.

So what if it was mockery and sarcasm? It wasn't as if she hadn't endured it before.

"Wen Lai Bao?" His voice was soft.

"Do you still remember me?" she nodded.

Mu Bai didn't respond, put down his wine glass, and elegantly stood up. His deep gaze stared directly at her face, a cool fragrance enveloping the air, as understated yet lavish as his persona—noble yet unique.

Suddenly, he smiled at her, and Lai Bao felt a wave of dizziness as if a wind-blown blossom petal rain filled the sky, dreamlike and exquisitely beautiful.

"Hehe… Look at her silly appearance."

Laughter echoed in her ears as Lai Bao regained her senses, only to see everyone staring at her as if she were a big joke.

Unbeknownst to her, the bag draped diagonally across her right side had been nudged by Mu Bai to hang around her neck, swinging from side to side, creating a comical and hilarious scene.

She really looked like a fool.

Even Ding Chen Tai couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Lai Bao's face turned pale, suppressing the humiliation in her heart, she looked steadily at him, "Mu Bai."

Mu Bai blinked, like a mischievous angel, "I remember you, what do you need?"

After speaking, he pushed her bag again, making it swing from side to side beneath her neck, making her look like a giant, human-sized pendulum clock.

Laughter continued from nearby, all filled with mocking whispers.

Yet, Lai Bao felt relieved; Mu Bai still remembered her, and that was enough.

As if deaf to the mockery around her, she gave Mu Bai a slight smile, "I wanted to ask you to lend me some money."

Mu Bai raised his attractive thick eyebrows, showing no great surprise, "How much?"

Seeing that he didn't outright refuse, a flicker of hope rose in Lai Bao, and she waved her plump white hand in front of him.

"50,000?"

Lai Bao frowned, shook her head, and took a deep breath, "5 million."

Before Mu Bai could respond, a surge of gasps filled the air. The audacious amount stunned everyone present, knowing well that the Mu Family had absolutely no relation to the Wen Family.
